USA, Second Amendment

[Brigadier]

It seems the nutters aren't completely discouraged.

Indeed ; after all, The Orange One ran for President

This wasn't the first armed insurrection in USA.
The other was far more brutal to black citizens. Then the event was airbrushed in history to make it look like the black population were the rebellious sector.

This country has been far more stable over the centuries so a written constitution has not really been required.

Britain's constitution has developed in haphazard fashion, building on common law, case law, historical documents, Acts of Parliament and European legislation. It is not set out clearly in any one document.

When an issue arises that is not covered by a constitution, one of the other branches need to enact legislation, make a judgement, or repeal legislation, etc to 'modify' the unwritten constitution.
This has happened throughout history. there are numerous examples. Some examples have been mentioned (or will be mentioned) in others' posts.
This results in a haphazard array of multiple sources for the unwritten constitution which becomes a lawyers paradise.

Armed Insurection

Jeez us wept .

What would you call it? Go on, think of a couple of words to describe it:

Two days after the state election Waddell and hundreds of white men, armed with rifles and a Gatling gun, rode into the town and set the Wilmington Daily Record building alight. They then spread through the town killing black people and destroying their businesses. The mob swelled with more white people as the day went on.
Waddell and his band marched to the city hall and forced the resignation of the local government at gunpoint. Waddell was declared mayor that same afternoon.​
